Stop in at the Washington Heights Arts Center for a peachy exhibit based on the images found on fruit and vegetable crates. Students in instructor Scott Ronzio's 'Exploring Water Media' classes will interpret the colorful visual imagery used on fresh food packing crates. The use of color, distinctive compositions, content and lettering make this artwork enjoyable and identifiable. No genetically modified paints used in these hand- picked paintings.

Victoria Eubanks brings twenty years of design sensibilities into her encaustic work. In this body of work Victoria showcases organic shapes, with visual references to growing or expanding. Some pieces subtly intimate there may be something more beneath the surface. The pieces in this exhibit are lush, chock-full of texture and color.

Free and open to the public Mon - Fri 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from September 6 - December 20

Since the late 1980's, Sharon Bond Brown has painted 85 "Virginia" paintings based on old photographs she found in the trash. "Virginia: A Life" is an exhibit celebrating an ordinary life. What drew Sharon to these materials was her interest in authentic voice (the letters), her interest in the period (1936-1944), and her fascination with old family snapshots. A sociology major in college, and the daughter, granddaughter and sister of psychiatrists, she has an eye for images that she can use to convey subtle psychological and social tensions. She sees the ways in which ordinary people reveal themselves, try to conceal themselves (often at the same time), and reflect culturally induced values.

Free and open to the public Tues - Sat 10 a.m - 4 p.m. from September 20 - January 18
